Overview
How to position the entire stack of Threat Protection Products
Deploying the full stack of Microsoft Defender XDR (Extended Detection and Response) is crucial for enhancing the effectiveness of Security Operations (SecOps) teams. It provides a unified and integrated approach to threat detection, prevention, investigation, and response across all domains of the enterprise, including endpoint, identity, email, and applications.
By leveraging the rich signals and insights from Defender XDR, SecOps teams can quickly identify the root cause of incidents, streamline their investigation processes, and respond more effectively to sophisticated attacks. This comprehensive visibility and control over the security landscape significantly improves the organization's security posture and resilience against cyber threats.
Microsoft Sentinel, our cloud native SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) solution, offers unparalleled visibility into the overall threat landscape, extending coverage to every edge and layer of the digital environment. Sentinel and Microsoft Defender XDR are natively integrated with bidirectional connectors, enabling security operations teams to benefit from the comprehensiveness and flexibility of the SIEM and the threat-driven approach of the XDR.
Furthermore, Ignite 2023 announced Unified SIEM and XDR that represents the next step in the Security Operations Center (SOC) protection and efficiency journey by bringing together the power of Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Defender XDR and Microsoft Security Copilot into a unified security operations platform with one experience, one data model and unified features, all enhanced with more AI, automation, attack disruption and curated recommendations.
